Software licences in this category cover the essentials of any computer: operating systems for a clean install or an upgrade, office suites for documents and spreadsheets, and antivirus tools that keep data safe. There are editions for home users as well as business licences spanning several devices. Before buying, check the system requirements, compatibility with your version of Windows or macOS and the licence term - some products come as a one-year subscription, others are perpetual. The number of devices one key activates is worth confirming too.
